Technical and clinical success of infrarenal endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair: A 10-year single-center experience

Management of peripheral arterial disease: Role of computed tomography angiography and magnetic resonance angiography

“…Endoleaks are defined by the persistence of blood flow perfusing the aneurysm and are observed in 10 to 36% of cases (median 25%) [74][75][76][77][78][79][80]. In the same series, 6 to 20% of EVAR patients eventually require a reintervention most being endovascular [74][75][76][77][78][79][80].…”

Primary Absence of Type II Endoleak is A Positive Prognostic Factor against the Risk of Late Conversion of EVAR for AAA

“…Secondly, published reports demonstrated that spontaneous resolution of endoleaks can sometimes occur, even if this is not associated with constant rates of occurence (5-33%) [13]. Furtherly, most of the authors assert that type II endoleak is a minor complication not necessarily related to an increase in aneurysms size [14][15][16]. Actually, EUROSTAR series had reported a significantly higher rate of re-intervention required by patients with type II endoleaks, but did not find a direct correlation between this type of endoleak and conversion to open repair or rupture.…”

Late Type 3b Endoleak with an Endurant Endograft

“…New generation endografts make it possible to treat more complex AAA with less perioperative mortality and systemic complications [1–4]. However, endoleak is still a common problem of EVAR that is characterized by persistent blood flow within the aneurysm sac [5, 6].…”
